A supertanker can carry 2.2 x 105m3 of oil with a density
of 0.88 g/cm3. When fully loaded its mass is 2.3 x 108 kg, and the dimensions of its hull are approximately 400 m long, 60 m wide, and 38 meters high. Given that the density of seawater is 1.03 g/cm3, how deeply is the hull submerged in the water?

the volume of the ship is 912000 m^3
so its density is
(2.3*10^8 kg)/(9.12*10^5 m^3) = 233 kg/m^3 = 0.233 g/cm^3
hmmm. doesn't look right. Did I miss something?
